## Summary

The Lancashire Renewables Ltd is planning a tender for the Provision of Agency Workers / Staff, in the services industry category. The procurement process initiated on 27th July 2023 and is currently in the planning stage. The tender involves handling household and residual waste at their Leyland and Thornton facilities in the UK. Lancashire Renewables Ltd aims to have a contract in place by April 2024, increasing their staff count from 180 to 272 people. Suppliers interested in this opportunity must respond to the questionnaire by 1st September 2023. The procurement process will take place through a competitive tender process to select a recruitment agency to meet their ongoing agency worker requirements.

This tender for agency workers at Lancashire Renewables Ltd presents a lucrative opportunity for recruitment agencies and staffing firms specialising in the services industry. Businesses capable of providing a physically present workforce at the waste treatment sites, fostering a close relationship with Lancashire Renewables Ltd, and managing multi-role staff pools are well-suited to compete. Moreover, companies experienced in creating comprehensive contract terms, including performance metrics and permanent employment criteria, are likely to excel in this competitive tender process. Successful engagements with Lancashire Renewables Ltd could lead to long-term business growth opportunities and significant partnerships within the waste processing industry.

## Notice

Lancashire Renewables Limited (formally Global Renewables) was established in 2010 and operates two flagship waste treatment facilities in Leyland and Thornton; handling household and residual waste (circa 400,000 tonnes p.a.). LRL currently employs circa 180 people. The headcount will increase up to a total of 272 people as the company prepares to undertake additional processing activity in 2025. To support LRL's operation and commencing from April 2024, LRL wishes to have a contract in place with a recruitment agency to provide and support the ongoing requirement for agency workers. LRL currently spends approximately PS400-450k per annum on agency staff (based on company payroll information). Currently, LRL typically has 10-15 agency employees on the ground. As part of the soft market testing exercise, we are hoping to review and clarify certain criteria that will help us to create a final tender specification. Typical criteria may include, but not be restricted to, the following topics: * Presenting the industrial nature of LRL's sites and clarity of the working environment * Whether the recruitment agency can provide a physical presence at LRL's sites to support the service, any agency staff on the ground, and moreover a close relationship between the agency and LRL * Typical roles and responsibilities of both the agency and LRL under a contract * Creation of a pool of staff assigned to LRL covering multiple roles * Ability to service each of LRL's two sites or any envisaged difficulties servicing either location * Feasibility and criteria around permanent employment from either an agency worker on the agency's books or a new employee * Contract terms (including duration) and performance metrics. To declare your interest in this project, please read the scoping document and respond to the questionnaire (both located at https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/business/tenders-and-procurement/tenders/) and return your completed questionnaire to James Mynott / Procurement Manager @ LRL / james.mynott@lancashirerenewables.co.uk no later than 1st September 2023. LRL will consider all responses and look to hold engagement sessions with suppliers in September 2023.
